U4 celebrates 1,000th customer

SYRACUSE, Indiana—June 8th, 2004—Scott Wenger, CFO U4COM, shaved his head in celebration of U4COM's 1000th customer last Tuesday. "I started telling my staff around the 200customer mark that I was going to shave my head in celebration when we reached 1000; needless to say my staff wasn't too shocked when I walked in the door after lunch on Tuesday with a shaved head." After only six months of providing service, U4COM, a local telephone company out of Syracuse, Indiana, welcomed their 1,000th customer. "Our employees have done a wonderful job. Their hard work and dedication have accelerated our operations" explained Ben Plikerd, CEO of U4COM. "We expect to have 4,000 customers by December and to be providing service in at least six other states." Many of the strategic contracts signed in the past two months will allow U4COM access to hundreds of thousands of customers in the next two years. Sixty-three percent of U4COM's customer base resulted from word of mouth referrals. "Our customers tell their friends and they tell their friends about our outstanding customer service and affordable pricing," stated CFO Scott Wenger. U4COM will begin its next phase of growth by launching their new marketing plan. Plikerd proclaimed "We're attempting to make U4 a household name."
